Parasite Prevention

We are a no flea clinic, if your animal has fleas when brought in, it will be treated with a flea deterrant before it leaves the premises.

Flea and tick prevention is extremely important towards prolonging the life of your pet. It is also advised that once your animal is indeed infested with fleas, that you also have the pet de-wormed, as the animal has the potential of having tapeworms from the infestation. Fleas can cause extreme irritation to your pet as well as others within your home.

Ticks are vectors to two different diseases that can affect your animal. The American Dog Tick is a potental carrier of Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever and the Deer Tick can carry Lyme Disease.

Dogs and cats can also have a variety of worms living within their intestines and heart. There are many different types of worms that can take host to your animal. It is important to have fecals performed on any animal presenting problems or having worms in their stool. Puppies are highly susceptible to many species by their mother. It is important to de-worm puppies, as well as adult dogs, to ensure that they are protected against any worms that can affect their nutritional intake and overall health.
